Mudi puppies for sale in Nova Scotia

Breed history

The Mudi is a rare and versatile herding breed from Hungary, developed in the 18th century through natural selection from local herding dogs, likely including the Puli, Pumi, and German Spitz-types. Bred for function over form, Mudis were valued for their intelligence, agility, and bravery, excelling at herding livestock like sheep and cattle, as well as guarding farms. The breed was formally recognized in 1936 by Dr. Dezső Fényes but nearly disappeared during World War II. Post-war efforts preserved the breed, though it remains uncommon even in Hungary. Known for their high energy and trainability, Mudis today are used in herding, dog sports, and search and rescue. The breed gained full recognition by the American Kennel Club in 2022, helping raise its international profile.
